Strange oral allergy?


PickyEmmy

Recommended Posts

brief intro, I’m female in my early 20s diagnosed Celiac and Gastroparesis (Gastroparesis was this year it’s been rough)


I’ve noticed lately if I eat cereal or have certain foods I get this long white vein like thing in my mouth I also get red blisters inside my lip. I took a Benadryl the other day that contained the red dye and mouth broke out on the inside I stopped taking it and it went away I take the dye free ones and have no issues so far.

 

today I ate lactose free milk with corn flakes and now my mouth is all blistered again and the white veins are in my cheeks.

 

i noticed the same thing with oats too. 
 

with eggs my lips get tingly. These “allergies” literally came out of nowhere. I dislike taking Benadryl but it relieves the itching I get from certain foods.

 

my diet is very limited due to Gastroparesis and Celiac disease not being able to eat full meals I wonder if these mouth sores are due to malnutrition. 
 

Doctors think I’m a little nutty when I mention these things to them they think I just don’t want to eat and prescribe me anti depressants.

im running out of options here.

I have corn and dairy allergies among some others, I do get the red sores (mine are a bit more like blood blisters) in my mouth. But yes keeping antihistamines around is daily life. Some stores around here have a liquid version that taste awful but works faster/better. Food allergies are very common in celiacs, common ones are dairy, soy, legumes (peanuts), nightshades (Tomatoes, peppers, potatoes) garlic, onion, etc. You should also avoid oats as about 10% celiacs react to them the same, as a side note double check they are Gluten Free. As for you issues with eggs, the are often considered histamine liberators.
On a side note, mine have tone down over the years to not be as bad, but for a short while they got worse when ignored.

I did deal with gastroparesis for awhile and found easy to break down and digest foods to be best, in my case I would often blend stuff into eggs before cooking slowly and having to chew til swish able -_-.But seemed the main issues was easy to break down, and nothing that would float. I often found digestive enzymes helped, few other little things to promote digestion. Literally was like a list of quirks and maybes with how random it would be. It would flare up daily no matter what for weeks after a gluten exposure of any kind.

Trying a elimination diet might help to find foods that do not affect any of your issues.

Have you ever considered getting food allergy tests done to find the culprits, and then avoid them if possible? If you can't avoid them perhaps you could at least rotate your diet so that you don't eat them as often. I will assume that you are 100% gluten-free and that isn't causing you issues, but it never hurts to double check your diet to be sure.

What brand corn flakes did you use? Was it labelled "gluten free"? Some corn flakes have malted barely which is not gluten free. 

Oats are also a very problematic ingredient (in that some people react to all oats) and they are very likely to be cross contaminated, unless they have a gluten free label. 

An egg allergy sometimes may go along with a soy allergy.

Do you react to dairy? If so there are alternatives that you might be able to tolerate.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
